What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun sextile Neptune (close at 2.1°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart

    Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return. His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.

    The Moon trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth before 12:03 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.2°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. He thought like a detective: nothing was taken at face value, and he remembered everything.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars trine Neptune (close at 1.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
